Graduated from Pakistan Institute of Prosthetic and Orthotic Sciences University of Peshawar (PIPOS) in Pedhawar in 2004. I am currently working with Qamar Rehab Services and Medical & Rheumatology Centre in Rawalpindi.
What is your greatest patient story in O&P?
Once a soldier with TF amputation reported a high level of anxiety who didn't want to fit prosthesis as he was no more able to walk. I fitted a normal prosthesis and trained him to walk, he slowly came out of his complexion then I ask whether he wanted to run, he agreed and i fitted him with flex foot cheetah with total knee. He is now an active sports man.
Prosthetics - When i joined AFIRM ( Armed Forces Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine) I established a state of the art department and fitted more then 5000 amputees including: earthquake amputees of October 2005; amputees of war against terrorism; civil amputees from diabetes and road traffic accidents.
Learning new things. During all my time at AFIRM I was offered training abroad on basis of my performance and received 14 certifications including C-leg, Genium, Myobock upper limb, Digital elbow, Bebionic from Ottobock, lower limb advance certification from Ossur and CADCAM from Bioscluptor USA. I was also awarded with coin of performance for Amputee Rehabilitation services by US Army Rehabilitation Team.
